Kristin Gleeson

A 12th Century Irish woman sets out on the legendary voyage to America of Prince Madog of Wales. Aisling, a failed seer, stows away on the ship belonging to the Welsh prince, Madog, to be with her brother. After months at sea, she falls overboard during a storm and washes ashore on the American gulf coast. Caxna, a Tlingit trader and former shaman, finds her and reluctantly agrees to let her join him on a trading journey to the Mayan city of Xicallanca and later Etowah (modern Georgia), in the hopes she might find Madog and her brother. For Caxna the journey is a means to eventually free his clan. But Aisling changes everything.
